Thymolipoma simulating cardiomegaly: Diagnostic usefulness of computed tomography.

Thymolipoma simulating cardiomegaly: use of computed tomography in diagnosis.

A 22-year-old woman was originally referred to a cardiologist because of an abnormal chest radiograph (fig 1) obtained during a routine medical examination. The patient admitted to having had increasing dyspnoea for about one year and for this reason had discontinued her studies as a nurse six months previously. At the cardiological examination pulse, blood pressure, heart sounds were normal, a...

Giant Thymolipoma Mimicking Cardiomegaly

A 28-year-old man presented with a chest radiograph strongly suggestive for cardiomegaly. Although he did not consent any hemodynamic studies, cardiomegaly was ruled out on the basis of the clinical course. Computed tomography showed the existence of a large mass in both sides of the heart and in both lower hemithoraces. The tumor was resected by anterior mediastinotomy; it was weighted 2100 g ...

Computed Tomography - A Diagnostic Tool

Pyrogen Igniter (PI) is a mission critical component used for igniting large rocket motors. PI is made up of propellant grain cast into a Synthetic Resin Bonded Paper (SRBP) tube, which in turn bonded inside Glass Epoxy (GE) casing. The variations in processing of PI may result in non-uniformity in thickness of its constituents and defects at interfaces that can affect performance of PI. X-ray ...
